  • Hamas is Jihadist and extremist. It would have been a fatal mistake for Israel to support them to undermine the secular movement for a free palestine. Trying to position Hamas between international support and the palestinian people sounds like a really cynical and bad idea.

    There is no way the hard right in Israel would ever pursue such an agenda.right?

  • Meh... Israel helped make Hamas big, way before they were known as Hamas. Back then they just were an offshoot of the egyptian Muslim Brotherhood organisation. Fatah was/is secular and Israel sought to utilize islamist organizations agaibst Fatah, who they saw as their main opponent. And it worked. There was violence between secular and islamist palestinian organisations.

    But -shock horror- the islamists turned out to be a greater threat to israel than the secular fatah.

    It's a little like 9/11. I vehemently disavow and condemn the attacks. But on the other hand, you kinda made your own bed so to speak.

  • There's another explanation: there is a religiously zealous segment of israeli society that is the main driver of many illegal settlements. Additionally the state of Israel sometimes wields its institutional force against palestinians, especially in east Jerusalem. Citing 'demographic concerns' as a reason for giving building permits to israelis and not to palestinians should probably not happen in a non ethno state.

  • That's... pretty stupid tbh. One of the most indicative signs of alcoholism is loss of control. Enjoying a certain type of beer once in a while is not that. Or do you think entire nations in central europe are alcoholics?

  • It's a movie reference. Specifically it references "The Lord of the Rings: The return of the King" at the end of the battle of Minas Tirith. It is said by Gimli, as a response to Legolas slaying a Mumak (giant war elephant).

    I'm sorry i don't have a timestamp.

    Edit: It's 2:50:49ish in the extended edition
